Expletive-filled cheating row between Canada and Sweden Olympic curling teams goes viral
An expletive-filled exchange between the Sweden and Canada curling teams has gone viral after the usually sedate sport was rocked by allegations of cheating during a match at the Winter Olympics.
Sweden had lodged a complaint alleging a member of the Canadian team had been ‘double-touching’ - subtly course-correcting a curling stone after it had already been released.
Increasingly fraught tensions spilled over into a slanging match, with Canada's Marc Kennedy repeatedly telling Sweden's Oskar Eriksson to “f*** off”
Kennedy was later given a warning for foul language, with Canada going on to win the game 8-6.
